Jerry,

Will do. Have you tried the Velvet 350 gsm yet?

My guess is that with color it prints out CMY dots and if everything 
is aligned, the dots are all exactly on top of each other giving a 
smooth neutral gray. In color it looks like it would be much easier 
to see which pattern is correctly aligned. I find the vertical lines 
really tough to judge as usually most of the center ones look aligned 
to me.

I agree although I really like the Torchon too. I find that the big 
warm shift with Piezo ink that happens over the first couple of weeks 
on the Torchon to be hard to deal with. I guess I should give it a 
try with the MIS inks and see what I get. I would think that one of 
the warmer curves would be the way to go. More stuff to try!
